MILWAUKEE — Electric motor manufacturer Regal Rexnord Corp. is expanding its Leeson brand by adding the Marathon NEMA ac induction motors below the frame size 182T to the Leeson product lineup.

“From the first day of business in 1972, the people behind the Leeson brand have been deeply dedicated to innovating and delivering the highest quality motors to solve our customers’ problems,” said Brooke Lang, executive vice president and the president of Power Efficiency Solutions at Regal Rexnord, in a press release. “This integration further deepens the commitment of the Leeson brand to delivering optimized solutions that are engineered to solve our customers’ business challenges through reliability, efficiency, and performance.”

All Marathon-branded motor SKUs below the frame size 182T will now be under the Leeson brand name. These include motors used in a wide range of applications, from lifting boats to powering treadmills and pitching machines, and running water pumps, HVAC equipment, fans, pumps, conveyors, and food-processing equipment. The small motor products will continue to be manufactured in the same plants, and the same Leeson products sales team will be available to serve customers, the press release said.

From safeguarding warranties to enhancing customer support activities, a dedicated team is managing every aspect of the transition to deliver the benefits of the Leeson brand to current Marathon product users, the press release said.

“Customers are at the heart of everything we do,” said Lang. “Our goal is to deliver a better and more consistent experience across our portfolio of market-leading innovative solutions, while making the transition seamless to our valued customers.”
